Chapter 5:
Professor Layton opened the door to his office. "Here Emmy, why don't you sit down." He gestured to the couch.
"Thank you Professor." She tiredly sat down.
"I'll go and get a blanket for you. You must be freezing." Layton headed in the direction of the closet.
"I'm fine Professor, really," she shrugged her shoulders.
"I insist. We don't want you catching a cold now do we?" He handed her a blanket.
Emmy nodded her head in thanks.
Flora hopped up quickly, "I will make some tea! That can warm you up!" She fled the room in search of a pot.
"What happened Emmy?" Luke sat down next to her. "Why are they after you."
A heavy sigh released from her. "I don't know who they are. They just began following me earlier this week. That previous situation was the first time they came against me. They know me though. I don't know how, but they do."
Flora came back in with a hot cup of tea, handing it to Emmy, "Did they hurt you?"
Emmy gratefully accepted the tea and replied, "No. They didn't harm me."
Flora sat down on the other side of Emmy. Layton joined the others, sitting behind his desk. "Did they say anything to you? Something that may reveal who they are?" he asked.
Emmy thought for a moment then replied, "Not that I remember. They called me by my last name. And they claimed to know everything about me. I can't think of anything else."
"I wonder how they knew your name," Flora pondered.
"I wish I knew." Emmy had a grim look on her face.
Luke perked up, "Does this mean we have another mystery?" An anticipated smile grew on his face.
"I believe so, my boy." Layton stated.
Luke jumped in excitement. Flora giggled at this, causing Emmy to laugh, soon joined by the Professor.
Luke stopped abruptly, "Oh. But I am sorry it's happening to you Emmy." He stopped his excited jumping and bowed his head in shame.
Emmy laughed again. "You can be excited, Luke. Another mystery does sound exciting, doesn't it?"
The two began to laugh. Layton shook his head at the two. "Perhaps we should begin our investigation tomorrow."
Flora and Luke both nodded in approval. Emmy let a faint smile show. She couldn't help but feel nervous. She had never felt this scared before. Those men knew her. Not just info about her, all about her. She didn't want her friends to get involved as well. She couldn't stand to see them hurt. That was one of her worst fears, besides spiders. She could only hope everything would turn out alright in the end.
Luke jerked his head up. "Did you hear something?"
Suddenly, a loud crash rang through Layton's office.
Hope you liked chapter 5. Chapter 6 will be up as soon as possible!
